In Search of the Lost Trash

This is a collaborative game in which participants, divided into groups, must fill color-coded recycling bins placed around the school. Using a map, they will search for hidden waste items and place them into the correct containers.

Planet Earth is being overwhelmed by the increasing amount of waste generated by humans. However, we can help from our homes by reducing, reusing, and recycling.

By reducing and reusing, we prevent additional waste—like cutting down on plastic use or using reusable bags. And if we learn to properly classify waste based on its material, we can recycle it and help reduce pollution.

In this cooperative activity, students will be divided into 5 groups of about 5 members each. Each group will be responsible for filling one recycling bin. They’ll receive a map of the school showing where different waste items are hidden, and they must find them and bring them to their assigned bin.
